Ridiculously amusing
This has been part of my to-read list since forever. And I can now assuredly say that the meaning of life is 42. It's hilariously silly and outright bonkers.

It begins with the end of the earth (sadly), with a sole survivor Arthur Dent, or that's what we think, until he discovers Trillion, the other survivor. Whisked away on the Heart of Gold ship with his friend Ford Prefect (an alien) and his cousin, they gallivant across the universe attempting to find answers. And thus begins an epic adventure.

So it's not as sophisticated as Arthur C. Clarke's status of science fiction, or Andy Weir's level of technical details, and its not supposed to be. It's light hearted, and fun, as Douglas Adams creates a detailed and splendid look at our insignificant existence in the most humorous way possible.

The book is very descriptive of ever character. You can practically see them in your mind. There is a lot of mystery with answers, and a lot of suspense. (0 more)
The book was not long enough. I could have read this book 3 times as long, it was that good. (0 more)
Good book
I have not yet seen the movie, as I do not want to take away from my reading experience. This book has a lot of imagination, I would say it captivated me the way Tolkien's books captivated me. The descriptions of the characters are specific, and the atmosphere, and the villains. I wish the book was longer and it could certainly go much deeper. I think the author was not allowed to write as long of a story as would have liked, maybe for production value.

Addictive magical read
My Kate love continues to grow and if I didn’t have study and arc obligations, I’d be running straight into book three. MAGIC BURNS showed a bit of a softer side to Kate with the introduction of Julie and I found that whole part of the storyline interesting. Curran piques my attention constantly and I’d like to see his presence in the book so much more than it is, but I’m grateful for any little peeks.

I feel like I have started to get some answers to my questions in this instalment, like how magic and tech works, how the pack and the people are organised and function. I’m still a bit foggy over the order. My big questions are...who is Kate’s father and what is so special about her blood (please don’t tell me).

Olivia Hawk is 16 years old and has been accused of killing Ashland Steele. Ashland is the daughter of Florian Steele. Mr. Steele is the largest employer in the small town of Barron, Minnesota. Olivia lives in the neighboring town of Croix and these cities have been at each other's throats for quite some time. The reason, Florian Steele's company.

This is another new author for me. This book was very shocking and pulled at my heart strings. It's a story of loss, revenge, sacrifice, love, sickness, family. Makes you asks questions like: What am I willing to do to save my child? what will I do for my brother's love? What will I do to save my company? What will I do without my wife? Who is killing all these people? To find the answers you have to read the book.

This game has a surprisingly good story, which isnt told to you straight forward, you have to search for clues within the game to find answers. The animatronics are well designed and can be fairly terrifying. The game itself is pretty scary and mildly stressful, between managing the batteries for the camera and doors, and still keeping an eye on the animatronics to ensure they dont come into your office and get you. You cannot move or leave your office, which creates a feeling of being trapped. You cannot fight the animatronics and your only means of defence is a pair of doors that you close to keep them out, which creates a feeling of helplessness. All in all a very spooky game. If you like horror games with micromanaging, this may be for you.

Nick and Tesla have decided it is time to learn the truth about where their parents are and what they are working on. When two government agents admit the twin’s parents are missing, they start to look for clues the agents have missed. Will they find the clues to save the day?

I was so glad to see that this on-going mystery was the focus of this book, and it’s nice to get some answers about what has been happening. The characters are good for a middle grade series, although one does seem very over the top. Still, this is a climax that series fans will appreciate.

NOTE: I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.
